How do I scrape data from a website in Excel VBA?
I am trying to scrape some data from a website. The data I need is in a table called "Rentals". The data is in the form of a table of information. I have a script that I use to pull data from a different website and it works. However, this script does not work for the website I need.

How do I open an Excel VBA website in Chrome?
I have a website that I need to open in Excel. I have tried Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Internet Explorer, but I can't get any of them to open it. I tried it in the browser and it opens fine. I tried to open it in Excel by double clicking on it, but it doesn't work. It opens in the browser instead. I have tried searching for solutions, but nothing works.

IfModule modrewrite.
Can VBA be used for web scraping?
I need to scrape data from a website. The website uses a lot of JavaScript. I have the knowledge to write a Python script to scrape the data, but I'd like to use VBA for this.
I have tried the following code: Sub GetData(). Dim ie As Object. Dim doc As Object. Dim r As Object. Dim ws As Object. Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") ie.Visible = True ie.navigate "" Do While ie.readyState READYSTATECOMPLETE DoEvents. Loop. Set doc = ie.document Set ws = doc.getElementById("player-grid") Set r = ws.getElementsByClassName("player") For Each cell In r. Debug.Print cell.innerText
Next. End Sub. I am using the Internet Explorer object to navigate to the website, and then the document object to get the data. However, the website is using a lot of JavaScript and the script is not executed.
